Update: The silver and red Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinhentos boots are finally available to purchase, while Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start playing in them shortly. Although they are technically a special edition, it's not clear how many pairs are available. A high number is suggested by the fact that currently no sizes are sold out in Europe, where it's already up for sale on the Nike site.

Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed 500 career goals in the Champions League match against Malmö on September 30, scoring twice against the Swedish side.

This is the Nike Mercurial Superfly Cristiano Ronaldo Quinhentos Cleat.

The Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinhentos Soccer Boots feature an outstanding design combining the main color silver with a black and red gradient design on the heel area that mirrors the trademark design of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 3. The silver, black and red Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinhentos Boot draws inspiration from one of Ronaldo's favorite paint jobs.

Released ahead of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 3 Boots became an instant classic featuring the iconic gradient design in the heel area while introducing a revolutionary Teijin microfiber upper.

Featuring the same design as the Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 324K Gold Boots, the Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinhentos Cleat boasts the trademark CR7 branding on the heel area as well as the red lettering Mercurial.

It's logical that the Nike Mercurial Superfly Cristiano Ronaldo Quinhentos Football Boots offer the same features as the launch colorway. Combining the trademark Dynamic Fit collar with a knitted upper and Flywire strings, the Nike Mercurial Superfly is made for ultimate speed while providing a sock-like feel.

The Nike Mercurial Superfly Cristiano Ronaldo Quinhentos Boots are avilable from today, February 26, 2016, as a limited edition in Europe. The US launched is expected to be announced by Nike shortly. It's not know exactly how limited the new Quinhentos cleats are, but -as of now- all sizes are still available, suggesting that there's a fairly large contingent.
